Celebrating Massachusetts STEM Week Oct. 21-25 and every week at Science Club for Girls!

Thank you to the greater SCFG community who contributed to our $100,000 Challenge Grant! We are thrilled to report that we crossed the finish line and raised over $125,000 during this Challenge Match made possible by a generous grant from the Noyce Legacy Fund! Over $60,000 was donated from individuals with the remaining funds contributed by corporate foundations, long-time supporters from the biotech/pharma community and new partners in the tech community. We are grateful to be supported by all of our stakeholders who make it possible for SCFG to provide high-quality, free programming in STEM to even more girls in the greater Cambridge and Boston area. Thank you for your support!

We are deeply grateful to our extensive community of stakeholders, whose generous support has helped us to re-establish long-time relationships and forge new ones with schools, community centers, and library branches in Cambridge, Boston, and Somerville this year. Through this effort, we have expanded the number of girls we are serving by an incredible 70% this semester. Bonnie Bertolaet, Executive Director

AN AHA MOMENT!

Our youngest scientists are learning about the physics of motion this semester. Here they are mimicking the movement of planes with their bodies! The scientists then went on a "Movement Scavenger Hunt" around the school to observe and describe different types of motion.

About Science Club for Girls SCFG fosters excitement, confidence and literacy in STEM for girls from underrepresented communities by providing free, experiential programs and by maximizing meaningful interactions with women mentors in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. With women making up less than 24 percent of the STEM workforce, and black and Hispanic women at less than four percent, SCFG addresses a critical need, offering a continuum of engaging activities in STEM for K-8 girls, leadership experiences for high school girls, and adult mentoring by committed women in STEM.
